22 January-Plantation Agricultural Museum

We were greeted with fog and rain on the day of our trip to the Plantation Agricultural Museum. We would have gone hiking at one of the outdoor parks, but we were all too cold. Unfortunately, I forgot to grab my camera when we were leaving, (bad, Carly!) so these photos were taken with an Android, which is why they look all funny. (Carly repeatedly slaps herself in the face and then wonders why she keeps referring to herself in the third person.)

Some of the towns we passed on the way to the museum were very, um, small.
The weather was ironically appropriate when we passed through England, Arkansas.
The museum was very informative about the "boll weevil war" that the cotton mill had to face. We were assured that Arkansas is now "98% boll weevil free." Good to know.
One of the displays was entirely devoted to methods on slaughtering farm animals.
Mum's favorite part was the information on the "suck man." 
She would say it to herself and then have to stop walking she was laughing so hard.
We decided that this would be a good outfit for a "hipster."
